Does David Die in Coronation Street? Legend's Exit 'Sealed' and Fans Are Heartbroken

The one-off 60-minute Corriedale crossover aired on Monday , launching ITV's new 'soap power hour' before half-hour episodes begin Tuesday, January 6.
Staged across both soaps, Corriedale followed two half-hour episodes earlier that evening, linking characters driving on a country road between Hotten and Weatherfield before a major crash.
The episode revealed that the crash began when killer John Sugden and Becky Swain collided, flipping one car and sending the Swains' vehicle off road, while vicar Billy Mayhew was trapped in a minibus and confirmed dead, and Emmerdale's Graham Foster returned after his 2020 death.
Viewers reacted with concern as David Platt, diagnosed with epilepsy in 2010, collapsed from a seizure but recovered by the episode aired on Tuesday, while Cain Dingle survived a gunshot but was told he had cancer.
Fans on social media praised the episode and demanded more crossovers; @randomTVtalk called it `my favourite episode since the tram crash.` The Corriedale special was not available early on ITVX and STV Player.
